Organic Split Emmer Farro

Our split emmer farro is an ancient style of bulgur wheat.  It is traditionally known as Farro Spezzato in Italy. Split emmer farro cooks in 1/3 the time (20 minutes) and yields a light, airy cooked grain with tremendous flavor and soft texture. It is a great substitute for bulgur wheat. Instead of being cooked and dried like traditional bulgur wheat,  our split emmer farro is a raw, whole grain, minimally processed to garner its tremendous nutritional properties. Use in cold salads, add to soups for texture, or sauté with olive oil, fresh shallots, and herbs to compliment a main dish. It is a perfect addition to stuffing, pilaf, and performs great as a soup thickener.  Cooking instructions included on the package.

On stovetop, add 1 cup Split Emmer Farro to 2 1/2 cups water or broth with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
This can also be cooked in a rice cooker on the white rice setting.
One cup makes 3-4 servings.
